I had to link this today. I'm really looking forward to Gods and Heroes. I think that this is a pretty good summation of the game

The surprising things these days is what little is actually surprising in most new MMOs. I suppose that's the case with a lot of different types and genres of games at this point. Innovation is hard to come by. Companies are less willing to splurge and try new things. But while much of Gods & Heroes isn't completely surprising there's plenty of little innovations and evolutions to go around that could turn this into an MMO to watch with features that players can appreciate for different reasons than the normal massively multiplayer game.
